Love local, get vocal and help shape your Local Board Plan 2020
The Waitākere Ranges Local Board has developed a three-year plan outlining the key initiatives we want to focus on to help our communities thrive and support the recovery from the impacts of COVID-19. Now we need your help to check if we’ve got it right.
Our plan has seven key outcomes:
- The Waitākere Ranges Heritage Area is protected and enhanced and connections with surrounding communities are strengthened (page 11 of plan)
- We work closely with mataawaka and mana whenua partners (page 13)
- We work to respect, protect and restore the environment (page 15)
- Our communities are resilient and strong (page 17)
- Our communities experience wellbeing, belonging and participation (page 19)
- People have a range of opportunities to experience arts, culture and heritage (page 21)
- We have infrastructure and facilities which support and enhance our neighbourhoods and town centres (page 24)
Have a look at the plan for more details of what we will do to deliver on these outcomes and take the survey to tell us what's most important and what's missing.
Our 2020 Local Board Plan proposals are open for feedback until Thursday 13 August.
So love local and get vocal about your community by having your say. We'd love to hear from you.

Create a boardwalk across the Whatipu salt marshes
The salt marshes at Whatipu are a fantastic place for a boardwalk, which could go from the end of the lack along from Gibbons Track and cross the marshes in a meandering way to the beach. This would be a fantastic nature trail and would extend the Gibbon Track into a loop track back via the beach. Having crossed the marshes without a boardwalk and forced my way through the reads and then the cutty grass, I can certainly vouch for the need for such a track. The interior of the marsh is well worth visiting, but for most the thought of bushwhacking your way across is unappealing. Open this environment up, as we have lost tracks in the bush due to Kauri die back, and making such a track available would be a great alternative.

Advocate to AT to invest in safe walking and cycling around schools
Push AT hard to improve road safety for children walking and cycling to all schools. Safe, separated paths; safe crossings; and limiting parking to reduce risks from vehicles are all important. First step is to ask AT to prepare desktop planning identifying what routes are important surrounding schools and ask for consultation on whether the plan works; then to commit budget and programme.

A council run youth hub in Glen Eden instead of yet more gyms. The space could provide a safe place for youth. A hub to find support!

Finish the Glen Eden Cycleway
The council map is incorrect this cycleway was never completed. It ends at the bottom of Savoy road and does not link to the train station. Lets improve transport, saftey and help reduct congestion for future generations. There are many low cost options to accieve this if the local council will take this seriously.
